Turbines. - Blades for turbines, turbine-compressors, &c. are provided with interlocking means at their roots, so that they can be assembled and caulked in a former in ring, segment, or strip form ready for application to the rotor groove. Blades a, Fig. 1, and distance-pieces b, have holes drilled in their centres through which passes a solid rod or hollow tube d. The blades and distance-pieces are placed in a groove e of a forme, Figs. 21 and 22, and by a suitable caulking-tool f are driven up solidly and tightly one or more at a time. The groove e is slightly narrower than the rotor groove. One side of the groove e consists of a removable flange h, the width of the groove being determined by distance packing j. The caulking action causes the wire, blades, and distance-pieces to bind together, but the assembled blades may be soldered or otherwise treated for additional security before insertion in the turbine groove. Instead of the rod or tube, the blades and distance-pieces may be notched to engage with a strip, which may be plain, or serrated as shown at k, Fig. 11. Similarly the wire when used may be serrated, roughened, or fluted. In a modification, the notches are in the sides of the blades and distance-pieces. In a further modification, the distance-pieces b, Fig. 12, are provided with tongues n which engage grooves o in the adjacent filling-piece, Further modifications are described in which the filling-pieces have tongues and slots engaging together in a similar manner. In modifications, such as shown in Fig. 12, a wire or strip as described in the previous modifications is preferably used to give additional security. In a further modification, tongues on the distance-pieces pass through holes in the blades and engage slots in the adjacent distance-piece. In another modification, the blades are punched so as to form projections t, Fig. 16, which engage slots in the distance-pieces. In other modifications, the roots of the blades may be turned over and driven into slots formed in the distance-pieces. As shown in Figs. 19 and 20, each blade is formed with two bent-over portions v, x. The strips or segments may be secured to the rotor in any suitable manner, but preferably as described in Specification No. 8698, A.D. 1896. The outer tips of the blades are bound in any suitable manner.
